3206. And the servant said, It is my lord. That this signifies acknowledgment, namely, by the Divine natural, which is here the “servant,” is evident without explication. That initiation is effected by the Divine natural may be seen above (n. 3192); also that good recognizes its own truth; and truth its own good (n. 3179).
